Electrons in Atoms
• Rutherford's model of the atom had one
major problem:
• If the negatively charges electrons were
moving around the positively charged protons
in the nucleus, why don’t the electrons fall
into the nucleus? (unlike charges attract!)
• In order to attempt to solve the problem it is
necessary to study the properties of light.
Electromagnetic Radiation
• The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation has the
symbol .
• Wavelength is the distance from the top (crest) of
one wave to the top of the next wave.
– Measured in units of distance such as m,cm, Å.
– 1 Å = 1 x 10-10 m = 1 x 10-8 cm
• The frequency of electromagnetic radiation has the
symbol .
• Frequency is the number of crests or troughs that
pass a given point per second.
– Measured in units of 1/time - s-1
3
Electromagnetic Radiation
• The relationship between wavelength and frequency
for any wave is velocity = .
• For electromagnetic radiation the velocity is 3.00 x
108 m/s and has the symbol c.
• Thus c =  for electromagnetic radiation.

Electromagnetic Radiation
• In 1900 Max Planck studied black body
radiation and realized that to explain the
energy spectrum he had to assume that:
1. energy is quantized
2. light has particle character

The Photoelectric Effect
• Light can strike the surface of some metals
causing an electron to be ejected.

effect?

Exposure meters for cameras
Albert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect
– Explanation involved light having particle-like behavior.
– Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for this work.

Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
• An emission spectrum is formed by an electric
current passing through a gas in a vacuum tube (at
very low pressure) which causes the gas to emit
light.
– Sometimes called a bright line spectrum.
10
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
• An absorption spectrum is formed by
shining a beam of white light through a
sample of gas.
– Absorption spectra indicate the wavelengths of
light that have been absorbed.
11
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
• Every element has a unique spectrum.
• Thus we can use spectra to identify elements.
– This can be done in the lab, stars, fireworks, etc.
12
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
• Atomic and molecular spectra are important
indicators of the underlying structure of the
species.
• In the early 20th century several eminent
scientists began to understand this underlying
structure.

of sodium. What is the energy of one photon
of this orange light?

Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
Notice that the wavelength calculated from
the Rydberg equation matches the wavelength
of the green colored line in the H spectrum.
16
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
• In 1913 Neils Bohr incorporated Planck’s
quantum theory into the hydrogen spectrum
explanation.
• Here are the postulates of Bohr’s theory.
1.
Atom has a number of definite and discrete
energy levels (orbits) in which an electron
may exist without emitting or absorbing
electromagnetic radiation.
As the orbital radius increases so does the energy
1<2<3<4<5......
17
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
2. An electron may move from one discrete energy
level (orbit) to another, but, in so doing,
monochromatic radiation is emitted or absorbed
in accordance with the following equation.
E 2 - E1  E  h 
hc

E 2  E1
Energy is absorbed when electrons jump to higher orbits.
n = 2 to n = 4 for example
Energy is emitted when electrons fall to lower orbits.
n = 4 to n = 1 for example
18
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
3. An electron moves in a circular orbit about the
nucleus and it motion is governed by the ordinary
laws of mechanics and electrostatics, with the
restriction that the angular momentum of the
electron is quantized (can only have certain
discrete values).
angular momentum = mvr = nh/2
h = Planck’s constant n = 1,2,3,4,...(energy levels)
v = velocity of electron m = mass of electron
r = radius of orbit
19
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
• Light of a characteristic wavelength (and frequency)
is emitted when electrons move from higher E
(orbit, n = 4) to lower E (orbit, n = 1).
– This is the origin of emission spectra.
• Light of a characteristic wavelength (and frequency)
is absorbed when electrons jump from lower E
(orbit, n = 2) to higher E (orbit, n= 4)
– This is the origin of absorption spectra.
20
Atomic Spectra and the Bohr Atom
• Bohr’s theory correctly explains the H
emission spectrum.
• The theory fails for all other elements
because it is not an adequate theory.
21
The Wave Nature of the Electron
• In 1925 Louis de Broglie published his Ph.D. dissertation.
– A crucial element of his dissertation is that electrons have wavelike properties.
– The electron wavelengths are described by the de Broglie
relationship.

h
mv
h  Planck’ s constant
m  mass of particle
v  velocity of particle
22
The Wave Nature of the Electron
• De Broglie’s assertion was verified by Davisson
& Germer within two years.
• Consequently, we now know that electrons (in
fact - all particles) have both a particle and a
wave like character.
– This wave-particle duality is a fundamental
property of submicroscopic particles.
23
The Quantum Mechanical
Picture of the Atom
• Werner Heisenberg in 1927 developed the
concept of the Uncertainty Principle.
• It is impossible to determine simultaneously
both the position and momentum of an
electron (or any other small particle).
– Detecting an electron requires the use of
electromagnetic radiation which displaces the
electron!
• Electron microscopes use this phenomenon
24
The Quantum Mechanical
Picture of the Atom
• Consequently, we must must speak of the
electrons’ position about the atom in terms of
probability functions.
• These probability functions are represented as
orbitals in quantum mechanics.
25
The Quantum Mechanical
Picture of the Atom
Basic Postulates of Quantum Theory
1. Atoms and molecules can exist only in
certain energy states. In each energy state,
the atom or molecule has a definite energy.
When an atom or molecule changes its
energy state, it must emit or absorb just
enough energy to bring it to the new energy
state (the quantum condition).
26
The Quantum Mechanical
Picture of the Atom
2. Atoms or molecules emit or absorb
radiation (light) as they change their
energies. The frequency of the light
emitted or absorbed is related to the
energy change by a simple equation.
E  h 
hc

27
The Quantum Mechanical
Picture of the Atom
3. The allowed energy states of atoms and
molecules can be described by sets of
numbers called quantum numbers.
•
•
Quantum numbers are the solutions of the
Schrodinger, Heisenberg & Dirac equations.
Four quantum numbers are necessary to describe
energy states of electrons in atoms.

Atomic Orbitals
• Atomic orbitals are regions of space where
the probability of finding an electron about
an atom is highest.
• s orbital properties:
– There is one s orbital per n level.
29
Atomic Orbitals
• s orbitals are spherically symmetric.
30
Atomic Orbitals
• p orbital properties:
– The first p orbitals appear in the n = 2 shell.
• p orbitals are peanut or dumbbell shaped volumes.
– They are directed along the axes of a Cartesian
coordinate system.
• There are 3 p orbitals per n level.
– The three orbitals are named px, py, pz.
31
Atomic Orbitals
• p orbitals are peanut or dumbbell shaped.
32
Atomic Orbitals
• d orbital properties:
– The first d orbitals appear in the n = 3 shell.
• The five d orbitals have two different shapes:
– 4 are clover leaf shaped.
– 1 is peanut shaped with a doughnut around it.
– The orbitals lie directly on the Cartesian axes or are
rotated 45o from the axes.
• There are 5 d orbitals per n level.
– The five orbitals are named –
d xy , d yz , d xz , d x 2 - y 2 , d z 2
33
Atomic Orbitals
• d orbital shapes
34
Atomic Orbitals
• f orbital properties:
– The first f orbitals appear in the n = 4 shell.
• The f orbitals have the most complex
shapes.
• There are seven f orbitals per n level.
– The f orbitals have complicated names.
– The f orbitals have important effects in the
lanthanide and actinide elements.
35
Atomic Orbitals
• f orbital shapes
36
Atomic Orbitals
• Spin effects:
– Every orbital can hold up to two electrons.
• Consequence of the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
– The two electrons are designated as having
– one spin up  and one spin down 
• Spin describes the direction of the electron’s
magnetic fields.
37
Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism
• Unpaired electrons have their spins aligned
 or 
– This increases the magnetic field of the atom.
• Atoms with unpaired electrons are called
paramagnetic .
– Paramagnetic atoms are attracted to a magnet.
38
Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism
• Paired electrons have their spins unaligned
.
– Paired electrons have no net magnetic field.
• Atoms with paired electrons are called
diamagnetic.
– Diamagnetic atoms are repelled by a magnet.
39
Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism
• Because two electrons in the same orbital must be
paired, it is possible to calculate the number of
orbitals and the number of electrons in each n
shell.
• The number of orbitals per n level is given by n2.
• The maximum number of electrons per n level is
2n2.
– The value is 2n2 because of the two paired electrons.

The Periodic Table and
Electron Configurations
• The principle that describes how the
periodic chart is a function of electronic
configurations is the Aufbau Principle.
• The electron that distinguishes an element
from the previous element enters the
lowest energy atomic orbital available.
42
The Periodic Table and
Electron Configurations
• The Aufbau Principle describes the electron filling
order in atoms.

•Hund’s rule tells us that the electrons will fill the
p orbitals by placing electrons in each orbital
singly and with same spin until half-filled. Then
the electrons will pair to finish the p orbitals.
